What are you doing while you wait for your wave to hit? I didn't order until late September, so I don't expect to play until this weekend. Mostly I'm playing Skyrim and APB while I wait!

I'm messing around on the forums a bit and playing Skyrim. I didn't pre-order until September 21st. Before they added the two extra days I didn't expect to get early access until the 16th. Now I'd guess I'll get early access the 15th or 16th. Only thing that really get me down is I use common names for my characters, so I'd like to save the names. Playing wise, I could wait to the 20th, there is no rush.

I didn't misunderstand. They quote says, a bonus wave sent, one more to go. Three waves had been sent, plus a bonus wave = 4 waves sent, plus one more = 5 total. People seem to have a hard time understanding the tweets.

Your grasping outside of your knowledge to claim double the numbers will log on the 20th. You don't know that on the 20th 1 million people will all long on at once. Biowares knows the amount of units they shipped and they know the amount of digital copies sold. It's something you or I don't know. To claim 1 million people will log on the 20th and there will be more people who buy the game on the 20th instead of pre-ordering is simply fantasy.

You can't please all the people all the time. MMO communities are the best living example of this saying.

Nah, I understand, I was just ranting about something a bit off topic. I didn't find their message to be confusing or cryptic, like I posted above. It was pretty straight forward, 4 waves planned for today, those went well, we might get more.

You don't know that double the amount of people will be logged on all at once. You don't know the amount of people logged on right now. It's a reasonable approach to slowly leak in the population and adapt to the increase in players with new servers or increased server capacity. I've been in countless MMO launches from small to big and the approach of flood gating every single people at the exact same time causes unplayable lag, crashes servers and leads to 4 hour ques. Biowares is simply taking the safe approach. It might be annoying, but it's not the end of the world. If they let everyone at once instead of posts about waiting people would be posting not being able to play because of instability/ques. You can't please all the people all the time.

You can't please all the people all the time. There isn't a better demonstration of that saying than MMO communities. No matter what a company does, it's going to upset part of the population.

You have a window of expectation. The 13th - 19th, it's like waiting for the cable guy or as you put it a package. Biowares doesn't want to get pinned down by giving hard information. It's the reason they didn't give us dates for early access. For the same reason we won't get information telling us how long to expect between waves. Biowares wants to be able to be able to adapt to the server stress as needed. Giving numbers, like saying the next wave is in an hour, handcuffs them. It builds expectations that may need to be crushed. People would go crazy if their early access date was for example the 14th and it got pushed back to the 15th. People will go nuts if the next beta wave is in 1 hour and it gets push backed 4 hours. Keeping the community in the dark, while annoying, gives people less to be angry about, well other than angry about being kept in the dark. Moral of the story, humans are angry angry creatures.

If your going to troll at least put some effort into it. Your embarrassing yourself.

Maybe you didn't see this: Four waves played so far, day isn't over yet. It's not really cryptic, it means they planned 4 waves today, but the day is still early. Things are going well so we might see a few more today. I'm not trying to be rude, but maybe it's the reader who is the problem (not understanding) and not the writer. You can infer that waves will be going out day by day, because if there were 4 total he wouldn't have used the world "today". Also, it's been said 100 times there will be waves each day. They don't have to keep saying it, it's implied because of previous information. It's only has hidden meaning if your looking for something.

4 Waves were originally planned for today. According to this tweet by SR: Source: http://twitter.com/#!/Rockjaw They had originally planned to only have 4 waves. That doesn't mean if things are going well they won't have 5 or 6. With the size of the invites tho, I don't expect them to get out of July today.

Only 4 Waves planned for today is really playing it on the safe side. I think their playing it a bit more conservatively than a lot of us would hope for.

Ya, one more to go is a bit disheartening. Only 4 waves is a bit pathetic.

In a DEV post they said that emails can be slow so check the play button, that it will be active before you get the email.

Still no 3rd wave, things look like there slowing down a bit.

Really......really? Their giving you an extra 2 days than you expected and it's a big "**** off". You have to be kidding or your dangerously spoiled.

Ya, I was hoping is accuser could provide a link where he said most everyone would be able to play today. I could say he is a liar because he said that I'd get a Porsche delivered to my house with my preorder and I don't have it yet.....that doesn't mean he really said that.

European tears taste like tea!

Source link his "lie" or it didn't happen.

Can you link a source to where he said that?
